Big fan of the TV show (been watching online tsk tsk) and bought Volume 1 'Days Gone By' today.

Thought it was great but too short for £7.50, don't think I can afford to get the TPBs! Looking on Amazon there are a few collections but I'm not sure which is the best value as they all seem to have a different number of volumes, and I'm not sure whether volume numbers quoted (eg 1-8) are talking about the original comic or the softback book like what I got.

So there are the omnibuses which are far too expensive.

Then there are the compendiums:

[url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Walking-Dead-Compendium-1/dp/1607060760/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1321387562&sr=1-1 ]Compendium 1[/url]

Which I think is half the series? But can't find when Compendium 2 is realeased...

Then there are the hard cover books:

[url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1582406197/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d0_g14_i3?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0JY11GZM328NPJY17GH4&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294 ]Book 1[/url]

Am I right in thinking the compendium is the same as Books 1-4?

Any help greatly appreciated!

As there are about 90 walking dead comic books to date you'll still need to buy a few compendia.

(I gave up a around book 78)

I'll come back to it one day - 'when a friend lends me them'

Edit- 8 volumes to a compendium = 48 books - so good value for money!

Wiki says compendium 1 is issue 1-48 so I'm guessing number 2 will be 49-96ish...

Definitely written 'compendium' far too many times now.

EDIT - I think that's 8 volumes of the TPB which are 6 or so of the comics. Confusing isn't it?!

I have Compendium 1 (got it a couple of weeks ago). Was allot cheaper than buying individual books which I started to do to begin with. Working my way through it, brilliant read considering I don't like graphic novels normally.

Picked it up for around £25 from Amazon new & used including postage.

So is the second or third compendia out yet?

<And don't get me started on the whole 'Shaolin Cowboy' debacle>

Just number 1. Which I'd used the dia plural.

Apparently the creator said he'd release a new compendium roughly every 50 issues. Nothing offical I don't think but it seems it'll be sometime next year perhaps? I think the current issue is number 90 or there abouts.
